Be honest: How long has it been since you glanced at your smartphone?

POLL: How would you describe your relationship with your smartphone?

And that's just one device. One example of the way the digital world is part of our daily lives. Pretty impressive considering the Internet as we know it grew from an idea hatched just 25 years ago. Who could have predicted the onslaught of YouTube videos, Twitter uprisings and selfies to come?

Regardless, what comes next will be interesting.
